this is wayy cool. reminds me of leslie from the big bang theory flash-freezing (and the smashing) a banana to add into her cereal (because she didn’t have a knife) and using a laser beam to heat up her cup of instant noodles (or was it soup?).

the big question
i have seen so many websites with the question “is america ready for a black president?”
WHY is skin colour even an issue here? bush is white, and look at the bumbling mess he created.
if that question even has to be asked, then obviously america is NOT ready.
it’s the same as asking “is this true love?”
well, if you have to ask, then, my dear, the answer...
the carrot
boss2 had a talk with me last night, and suggested the possibility of a pay raise if i could do them a favour and stay a few more months?
tempting though it may be, it is not always about the money.
one thing i learnt in life not too long ago is to always, always get out of a situation you don’t like as soon as possible. if there seems to be no way, find a way. if people or things (try...

no-car day
today september 22nd was no-car day in seoul, so all of us had free train and bus rides before 9 am! :D
the right choice
the thing about making the right decisions is that you never have to worry that they might be wrong, because they will always, always feel right.
it’s when you make the wrong decisions that all the doubts and insecurities start coming into play.

frustrated
what, really, is the point of it all?
i cant for the life of me remember why i came back to earth; can some kind soul please do me a favour and jog my memory.
everything seems to be so futile.
was having dinner with equinox yesterday night at a restaurant which had their huge LCD TV tuned in to the olympics. and what should be the event that was on at that time? SIN vs KR in table tennis.
it was an interesting (for lack of a better word) experience, being surrounded by koreans who were making all sorts of comments supportive of their team, not knowing that in their midst sat 2...

40 tips for a better life
got this in my email; i’ve bolded those that are already relevant to my life (i.e. it is either already a part of my lifestyle/beliefs or i am trying to make it so).
“THINK ABOUT IT….
Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
Buy a DVR...
i usually take a shuttle bus from my home to the subway station every morning, and the first bus that came along this morning was full. but instead of simply driving off as most drivers usually would, the driver of this bus stopped and indicated for me to go over to his side and get onto the bus through the driver’s seat because he couldn’t open the door. interesting.
i’m glad...
just to clarify...
i am not anti-korea(n), i am anti-rude people, korean or not. it just so happened that the rude people i met today were (surprise!) all korean simply because i am living in korea. that’s all. i would have written the same were i in the UK and had met the same type of people.
anyway i am fine now; i just needed to get it out of my system. writing is cathartic.
i still love korea, and i...
and since i’m in a volatile mood today, i’d like to express my disgust at some sycophantic characters that the internet seems to be so full of.
in the recent spate of “disagreements” (to put it mildly) between certain people online, i’ve noticed that there are some people who have an apparent personal vendetta against either party, but who are not directly involved...
i am usually a very patient person, and i don’t lose my temper easily but enough is enough and i’ve had it with those fucking rude koreans. how is it possible that in just one morning i meet 3 fuckers who are so far down the evolutionary ladder that i can’t even see the top of their heads from where i am positioned?!
for a society whose culture is still largely influenced by...
ok, the story goes like this: one of my close korean friends got attached a few months ago and i met his girlfriend recently.
so. after i met his girlfriend, he has been asking me SO MANY TIMES if his gf is ok (as in an ok person).
like, no offence dude, but if i don’t think your gf is ok (she is very nice, btw, but that’s not the point), there is no way i am going to say it to...
aunty roy
lx: eh im not sure if aunty wants bread leh. do you think we should get for her?
me: i dunno.. just get lor..
lx: oh shit!!!
me: ????
lx: i called aunty 'her'!
me: hahahaha! oh shit! and i didn't realize that it sounded wrong!
for a moment yesterday, i’d totally lost track of time.
i was in the bus when i suddenly couldn’t remember if my birthday this year had passed (it had). o.O
you can run to the furthest corners of the universe, but the problem is, you can never run away from yourself. there is no other choice: you have to live with yourself for the whole length of your life.
it is going to be difficult if you don’t at least like yourself, even if you don’t love yourself. the only way you can make things easier is to be someone you can like. and then...
in the search for answers, all we get are more questions…
my friend just told me that she is currently studying in palma, spain, and she has offered me a place to sleep should i go over, so i may go there for a few days in december before heading to london, before moving on to NZ.
SO EXCITING. :D
i can’t imagine how i managed to survive without a fan last summer…
it’s only july and i am already feeling that i will die if i do not sleep with the fan switched on.
i can’t imagine what it would be like when august (the hottest month) arrives… in, like, OHMIGOSH about 2 weeks. o.O
